Solid team. Good structure. But no real POD's.

[Jmachete]

Yeah I guess you are right, more playing it safe.

[Jmachete]

RINGO? what you think bro

[Ringo]

Solid team here

Def: Not a fan of Vlastin at that price and can see a number of vests.  Remember Tigers with Morris and Grimes last year the number of times they were vested. Stevenson or Pittard viable alternatives who will probably score similar. All three prem defenders share Round 13 bye so you need to watch trading strategy.
Mids: Strong prems here and good selection of rookies.  Again you have an issue with Round 13 bye as all 4 prems have the Round 13 bye.
Rucks: Solid line - Just watch the developments with Berger.
Fwds: Solid line with 4 prems, 2 mid pricers.

Overall structure is sound.

Know you are not worried about byes but with a little planning you can make ground up, Currently you have 9 of your prems with Round 13 bye so this leaves 21 players to field team of 18 on field but when you add the three donuts you must field because you do not have emergencies to cover means all your remaining players to play. So basically you will need to trade in Round 11 and Round 12 prems ensuring you have no Round 13 rookies left as well.  Not an issue if you are tanking in Round 13. Would also look for POD for upgrades.

Rate this team 9/10

Yeah tanking in one round worked for me last year and I might repeat the strategy this year, thanks again for excellent insight! appreciat it a lot.



Any other coaches out there feel free to give me you opinions thanks!

Changes im considering:

Shaw - Duffield

Franklin - Zorko

Berger - Premo Ruck

[Ringo]

Shaw to Duffield is sound
Franklin to Zorko is iffy imo I am keeping an eye on Zorko as an upgrade target basically because I am concerned what his final role at Lions will be (probably a wing) when Black returns.  Is also very pricey imo for some one that has only played 15 games.  Buddy will average more and should be in your final team so why risk now.
Not sure how much you have to upgrade Berger but maybe look at slightly cheaper mid priced Rucks like Bellchambers, Kreuzer or similar.

What do you think about zach smith instead of berger?

OR

Stefan Martin

[Ringo]

Prefer Zac Smith to Martin though.

Smith will be the number one ruck at coast and now in third season may get back to d011 form and be a POD for you.  Risk to take.

Martin I think will continue to be used as a KPP forward and pinch hit in ruck as required.
